Prime Video Stealth Releases Major BBC Historical Drama for 2021

We are living in an era of endless content, with new TV shows, movies, and documentaries dropping on streaming services almost non-stop. It can be overwhelming to keep up with everything, but it definitely helps to know what’s out there. For example, did you know that Prime Video quietly released the BBC historical drama “King & Conqueror” for streaming in the U.S.?

This big-budget series aired on BBC One and BBC iPlayer earlier this year, and stars familiar faces like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones” and James Norton from “Grantchester.” Set against the backdrop of the lead-up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, a pivotal moment in English history, the show delves into the lives of Harold Godwinson, the Earl of Wessex, and William of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror.

“King & Conqueror” has all the elements of a hit series: power struggles, family drama, and political intrigue. While the early reviews from the U.K. have been mixed, the series has already climbed into Prime Video’s Top 10 list in the U.S., even without much promotion. It seems like American viewers are showing more interest in British historical dramas than expected.

So, if you’re a fan of epic historical dramas with a touch of family rivalry and political maneuvering, “King & Conqueror” might just be your next binge-worthy show. Give it a watch and immerse yourself in this captivating story of conquest and power.
